Description

Dartmoor, Devon.

Jack Bellamy delivers post to remote houses on the moors with the help of Tosca the horse.

Jack rides the horse down to a river to drink. Various shots of the rapid flowing river. Jack rides over a stream and up a country lane. Various shots of Jack delivering a newspaper to an old woman - Mrs. Skitterly - holding a ferret (Henrietta). More shots of Jack riding across rough moorland terrain and streams. The postman stops at a remote farm. A woman and a little boy feed Tosca bits of bread.

Jack gave up running his post office nine years ago at the age of sixty to do this delivery round.
